It's a measure of weight (sic) for extremely distant objects. It is most
often used in discussing the densities of collapsed stars, specifically in
the interior of a white dwarf or neutron star, as if the sample (typically
a teaspoonful) were in the 1 G field at the surface of the earth, in the
absence of any possibility of performing the experiment.
